	Crusty says: 4/28/2015 9:26:15 AM Those are some great banjos guys. I've had my WM Whyte Laydie for a couple of years during which time I've come to prefer the Tubaphone sound more, so Ron has my parts right now and is making me a cherry rim to convert it to a bracket band Tubaphone and I'm expecting it to sound exceptional once I've found its voice. Ron told me that of all the many banjos he's built the best one he's ever made was a cherry rim/neck banjo so I'm excited to see this project come together. Once completed, I'll likely list my WM internal resonator Whyte Laydie rim for sale but if anyone here is interested you all get first shot at it.

	Crusty says: 4/28/2015 12:13:53 PM I like David's bridges quite a bit and I used one of his cherry/katalox bridges for a couple of months, but I eventually settled on a Sosebee Select Maple on my little Tubaphone that I like better. The cherry did a nice job of shifting the Tubey away from a too bright high end and more towards a fuller mid-tone.
